hi!
sorry to include this.
installing openssh on my redhat6.2 box is easy.. got tcp-wrappers
working. thanks for all your help.
but i also have solaris2.6 box and i was able to build sshd using
./configure --with-libwrap=/usr/lib
but restrictions from /etc/hosts.allow and deny is not working! any
host can ssh to my solaris2.6 box. i tried building with
./configure --with-tcp-wrappers or combination of both options but its
giving me an error saying
checking for libwrap... configure: error: *** libwrap missing
hope you can help though its solaris.
thanks.
